country, and as there has been virtually
no market for two or three years, hence,
business is very quiet, water is scarce and
grass short. The San Antonio d Arkansas

tonic here, is one of the best built and
equipped roads in the state. The road
bed is ballasted and they make fast time,
Pettus was the scene of excite
ment last week. The boarding boss
shot and killed the section boss at that
point. He also shot his wife in the left
arm, which he claims was accidental, but
witnesses testify that he cursed her ana
kicked her out of the house and swore he
would kill.

generous gentleman, Captain Frank Ford
of the schooner j. II. Moore, offered us
his boat and crew free, and he made one
of the jolly crowd, while we had fair sea
and good time. There was none of the
boys seasick, but some of them felt lone
